Tried to mimic the Aquasky design as close as possible as I like the look. No dimming just on and off. Tried to get as close as possible to the 602 when it came to output.
Bridgelux EB Gen 2 strips x2 5700K 80CRI
Meanwell APC-35-700 driver/power supply (supplies a fixed 700ma to strips)
These strips are designed to not require a heatsink. I tested them by leaving the light on for an hour and acrylic was barely warm. Don't mind the dirty tank and light. Have to clean it up and polish the acrylic on the light a bit.
Nice and sleek with crisp white light.
2 strips
Driver/power supply with quick disconnects
And the best part, the PAR data. Another fantastic thing about these EB strips is that their lumens per watt output is out of this world. The PAR data you are about to see is from a light that is only using ~27 Watts. That is less than half the 60W of an Aquasky 602.
Tank is a little taller than a standard 60P at 15.75 inches. The light itself is 5 inches tall. Distance from led diodes to bottom of tank is 20.25 inches. The middle readings are actually 9 inches above the bottom of tank so a little bit higher than mid.

As you can see the amount of PAR this thing puts out based on the wattage draw is outstanding. The light distribution is also dead even at the bottom. This tank is going to be an iwagumi with the carpet TBD.
